Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I estimate a panel upgrade?
A panel upgrade estimate should include the new panel cost, main breaker, ground rod installation, utility coordination fees, permit fees, labor (typically 6-10 hours), and any necessary rewiring to bring existing circuits to code.
Should electrical estimates include code upgrades?
Yes. If you discover code violations during the estimate process, note them and include the cost to bring things to current code. This is often required to pass inspection.
How long is an electrical estimate valid?
Typically 30 days. Copper and electrical component prices fluctuate, so include a clause about potential price adjustments for estimates accepted after the validity period.
